PC Client - Always Error on First Startup

I have been playing SWGOH on android for a few years now. I recently been able to try it on PC, but I always have an issue the first time it loads. It used to load to a black screen after the EA / Capital Games logo screen (the Disney / Lucasfilm screen would not appear), and i would have to exit out of the game and relaunch it and it would usually work, but often I would need to do it multiple times.

Since the most recent update, it seems a bit better, but now I am prompted with this after the Disney / Lucasfilm screen, and clicking reload will eventually get  me into the game. "[ERROR_MESSAGE_EADP_CONNECTION_FAILED]"

This is not isolated to just my PC, it's happening on my laptop as well. I've tried repairing and uninstall + reinstalling both the game and the EA desktop app and nothing works.
